H: abandoned the National Energy Guarantee, a policy which was designed by the treasurer, which the prime minister promised would lead to lower electricity prices, and which the member for Curtin still supports.

I: been described by the minister for women as “homophobic, anti-women, climate change deniers”.

And J: been described by its own prime minister as “the Muppet Show”.

[Labor] therefore calls on this ramshackle reactionary government to stop fighting itself and start focusing on the needs of the Australian people.

Can the prime minister confirm that just this week the government lost Wentworth on Monday, lost Chisholm on Tuesday, and it was reported on Wednesday that it’s about to lose Hughes?

Is this why the prime minister has a policy to have a part-time parliament? Because he can’t bear the consequences of having all the members of the government in the one place at the same time?

Morrison: WITH A CANBERRA BUBBLE REFERENCE HOW LUCKY ARE WE

It’s an interesting fact that on less than half of the opportunities the opposition has to actually ask questions in this place, they’re not about policy, they’re not about what’s happening in this country.

It’s all about politics and smear ... they’re interested in their political games, they’re interested in the good, old Canberra bubble, Mr Speaker.

That’s what they’re interested in.

They’re not as interested in what is actually happening in this place and the work that is being done.

He includes this little gem, which is something he has been trying to have catch on for a few months:

They just come in here and think all they have to do, full of hubris, full of arrogance, full of the swagger, full of the swagger that you’re used to seeing with the cocky union militant official walking on to the site, walking up to a small business owner and telling them how it’s gonna be, Mr Speaker.

That’s what the Labor party are proposing for the Australian people. They’re swaggering around electorates all around the country and they’re going to be changing it all, changing it all, Mr Speaker, if they get the opportunity to win the next election.

And every time he says it, I get Stayin’ Alive stuck in my head, so apparently the limit for mental torture does not exist.

This may finally, finally, be resolved. It’s been a loooooooong time coming.

From AAP:

Draft laws cementing a treaty which ends a long-running ocean border dispute between Australia and Timor-Leste have been introduced to federal parliament.

The legislation gives rise to the Greater Sunrise Special Regime, which will see the neighbouring nations share the spoils from the sea’s petroleum deposits.

An authority will be established to act on behalf of Australia and Timor-Leste to facilitate joint management of the new area, cabinet minister Dan Tehan told the lower house as he introduced the bill on Wednesday.

George Christensen is the lead in for the Michael McCormack dixer, which again just proves my longstanding belief that Thursday is always the worst day of the week.

Scott Morrison, who is currently chatting to Christopher Pyne, who seems more chipper than usual today, will be back before question time on Monday, so we won’t get to experience the singular pleasure that I am sure the acting prime minister Michael McCormack QT hour would be. What a shame.

Kerryn Phelps has the backbench question today, and it’s her first one to the chamber for question time, so congrats.

Many Australians are concerned about the privacy of their health data, as there is no more important or sensitive personal information. Despite improvements in privacy protection passed by this House this week, there remains massive scope for the monetisation of this data through third use. Will the prime minister guarantee to provide the business case for the My Health Record database to this House in this sitting fortnight?

This will be the final opportunity before the opt-out period is on 31 January 2019, and Australians need to be assured about the true intentions of this program.

Greg Hunt takes this one:

In relation to the My Health Record, legislation was passed unanimously through this House this week, on Monday, and I am very happy to inform that that included a guarantee that My Health Record would be in public ownership forever.

There is no scope for revenue, there is no revenue which will be raised.

I have confirmed again today with the deputy secretary in charge of financial matters within the Department of Health that there is no revenue that has been, or is, projected from My Health Record.

So, I’m happy to provide a guarantee that there is no capacity, there is no projection, and there is no revenue that is anticipated. I am also happy to provide the very documents which she is seeking.

What is the impact on Australia’s international standing, when last night, Malcolm Turnbull tweeted, and I quote, “A centrist government was blown up in August and it wasn’t done by the moderates.” Does the prime minister agree with Malcolm Turnbull? How does the prime minister explain to his international counterparts why Malcolm Turnbull is no longer the prime minister”

Morrison hears “does the prime minister agree with Malcolm Turnbull” and that’s about it, based on this answer which begins with:

I agree with Malcolm Turnbull when he says that the leader of the Labor party is the biggest risk to the Australian economy. That’s what I agree with Malcolm Turnbull on, and have for many, many years, Mr Speaker.

He then lists a bunch of government policies. Check the PMO website for more, if you need any more information on that.
